Apparel deals with every stage of the clothing creation process: design, creation, and selling. Depending on your interests within apparel, you could work in any of the following areas:

Fashion design

Clothing sales

Marketing or advertising

You can also work with a company that designs or sells clothing. Depending on whether you choose to work with a clothing company with a physical presence or an online company, you could work in finance, human resources, software development, customer support, or marketing.

Most of these positions require a college degree. While you don’t technically need a degree to become a fashion designer, you do need a portfolio.
